Goose Hunting

Welcome To Goose Hunting Info

Among the bird hunting genre, goose hunting occupies a special place providing a real challenge to hunting enthusiasts who are fed up with duck or pheasant hunting. Although hunting for geese is a popular practice in North America mainly, it is surprisingly below such types of hunting as raccoon or deer hunting. But goose hunting does have its fans, especially in the northern states of the US and Canada, and they are not few.

Goose hunting sometimes can be difficult. It is believed that the area of vulnerability is only one tenth of the bird's total size. Consequently, you are forced to give your best shot every time, and even that can't always get you the success you long for.
Calling is an essential component of a hunting process and requires much practice before it can be mastered. But after you've managed to fully understand how and when to use callers and decoys you will have an eventful hunt every time. It is advisable that you have a variety of decoys of different shapes, sizes and colors to use in every circumstance and a diverse set of callers, for every situation.
Knowing if a particular flock of geese is susceptible to calling depends on the way the birds fly; therefore if they fly low and somewhat unorganized then they are willing to respond to a call, if not it would probably be a waste of time to even try.
Also, it can prove trickier to practice than other types of hunting, but the reward is worth the effort. Few things can match the nervous anxiety of placing a decoy and waiting for a goose to come, as well as seeing how one of your shots brings down such a wonderful bird. However, like almost every domain, it requires a lot of patience and practice before becoming an expert. Until then, grab that gun, put on your hunting cap and have fun!
